Praise to Del Toro

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2013)

Wow!!!!!What a movie. First of all lets get this straight.You will love this movie.It doesn't matter if you've never seen anime or manga or Gundam or Robotech.This movie is on itself.Blend practical effects with cgi toss del toro and next gen cast and you have got it all.I was a bit skeptical in the beginning.I thought to myself"OK i think i know this movie.i saw all the trailers and all".BUT to my surprise the actions sequences left me with my mouth open.The story is pretty much typical hero saves the day BUT with 2340 tons of steel.And you get to actually see and understand the action.With transformers everything was so fast i didn't know what i was seeing.I mean most of the time i didn't know who was fighting who.Even bumblebee's distinct yellow or Oprimus's red blues couldn't help it.It was a salad of metal/chrome thingies with your occasional bullet time effects.Not in this one.Punches travel hundred of meters and when they strike BOOOM,your ears bleed.This movie is huge. Charlie Hunnams performance was solid although i am a bit tired of his SAMCRO style.There are others ways to perform but who am i to argue?As for the other supporting roles make the story believable. Of course the movie has some flaws.Too much macho stuff.Could work with out them.A few clichés and cheesy stuff.But in a movie were 300 storie robots are the protagonist,unfortunately there is little room for actors performances.But they do a good job.In the end its a movie thats a classic.And perhaps Michael Bay can learn a thing or two on how you make a robot movie.Go see it.You wont regret it.
